In a December 2011 interview, Wilson confirmed that with Blackfield, like the majority of his other projects, he has no particular plans for the future, but the project isn't necessarily over either.[15] However, in January 2012, he stated that his role would continue to lessen, with Wilson acting only as a contributor and mixer. Wilson said of the band's future:
...just to clarify news elsewhere of a new Blackfield album coming this year – please note that this time my involvement will be as a contributor rather than a member. I will still be mixing the album, and maybe sing on a couple of Aviv’s songs (there will be other guest singers I understand), but with my complete blessing Blackfield is now under his sole curatorship, a process which really began with Welcome to My DNA"[16][17]
Geffen has announced his intentions to release a currently untitled fourth Blackfield album in May 2012.[18][19] On January 29 and January 30, both Geffen and Wilson were in the studio working on vocals and guitar for the upcoming fourth album.[20][21]_________________What's wrong with being sexy?
